Very Funny Mr. Smith; Meet Stuart Smith M.P. - N.Z. Parliament's Joker
Money debasement and inflation is a joke for this man, chair of the Finance & Expenditure Select Committee, and his contempt for voters magnificent
Yesterday (Tues 20 Feb) I emailed Smith (see below1) asking for his response to a few questions related to his chairmanship of the Finance and Expenditure Select Committee.
His ‘response’ showed his unsuitability to be in parliament, let alone to Chair an important select committee. It also showed his contempt for voters. Decide for yourself.
Remember, Orr’s ‘joke’ referred to by Smith is about the intentional currency debasement manifesting as crippling, for some, consumer price inflation.
Very funny Mr. Smith.
And my response:

Dear Stuart
On Monday 12 February 2024 you chaired a meeting of the Finance and Expenditure committee, where Governor of the Reserve Bank Adrian Orr said the following:
“It’s a great business to be in, central banking. We print money and people believe it"
The video of the relevant portion of the meeting can be viewed here:

Those remarks are very disturbing and in my opinion Orr needs to resign for making them, but that's a different matter and not why I'm writing to you today.
What also disturbed me was the laugher, laugher I saw, from the RBNZ officials, and laugher I heard, from at least some of the Members of Parliament on the committee. My questions to you are (please consider this a formal media request, because I will be reporting on this):
1. Did you laugh?
2. If 'yes', why did you laugh. If 'no', which of your parliamentary colleagues on the committee, not seen but heard, did laugh.
I intend to get a statement from each of the committee members present to explain why they laughed. So if you did laugh please explain what was funny about what Orr said.
You see, Orr was mocking the ignorance of New Zealanders ("and people believe it").
He was mocking them that the 'product' he produces, the NZD, that they spend their time and sweat equity to obtain, has zero intrinsic value.
He was mocking them at a time when the 'product' he produces, the NZD, is racing to zero purchasing power and has lost in the order of >97% of its purchasing power since its 1967 creation.
He was mocking their ignorance of what money is, and what debt based fiat currencies are. And how they always, 100% of the time, behave. This is not rocket science, despite what the 'experts' say.
He knows, like I know, like the RBNZ bankers in front of your committee know, that the currency the RBNZ 'produces' has no intrinsic value. The rampant consumer price inflation, which is much higher than reported by the RBNZ and Statistics, and much much higher than the so-called 'core inflation' reported by the media, is resulting in people beginning to realise this. I'm sure I don't have to tell you.
Orr's resignation is only a matter of time in my opinion. I have asked your political colleague, the Minister of Finance, for her comment on this matter.
I look forward to your response.
Kind regards
Craig Hutchinson

His Wikipedia entry says he supports euthanasia. I am strongly against it but I would make an exception for him and others. I think he should lead by example.
